About links in site views


Files shown in Adobe GoLive site views are linked in four ways:
  • Hyperlinks are "jumps" or "goto's" on HTML pages that lead to other HTML pages or documents. They consist of the address (URL) of the other page and an instruction to display the page when the hyperlink is clicked. Hyperlinks appear in the central pane of links views.

    • Logical links are family relationships between pairs of pages (parent-child, sibling-sibling). Taken as a whole, these family relationships form the hierarchical structure of the site. You build the site by creating the relationships and then using them as guides to hyperlinking pages in the site. Logical links appear in the central pane of navigation views.
  • Pending links are reminders that pairs of pages, usually pages linked logically, should be hyperlinked. Like hyperlinks, pending links are directional. For example, a pending parent-child link can be either parent-to-child or parent-to-and-from child. If a hyperlink has been created between pages to complete a pending link between them, the pending link is resolved. Unresolved pending links have no hyperlink equivalent. In navigation views, any pages that are the targets of unresolved pending links for a page selected in the central pane appear in the pending pane.

    • You can also display a page's pending links in the Page Inspector for the page. You display the Page Inspector for the page by displaying the Inspector, displaying the page in a document window, and clicking the Page icon () in the upper left corner of the window. The pending links are shown in the Pending tab. All pages that are targets of the page's pending links are listed in the tab, with the unresolved links checked.

  • References are source links--addresses of media files on HTML pages that cause the media file to be embedded in the HTML page, usually as an image. In navigation views and links views, any files that are referenced on a page selected in the central pane appear in the reference pane.
